<p dir="auto">I'm not arguing about merits of grid system. I'm arguing about <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_Layout/Basic_Concepts_of_Grid_Layout#the_implicit_and_explicit_grid" rel="nofollow">explicitly specified grids vs implicitly specified ones</a>. Let's say you have a commenting UI where you have a textarea and on the left side and a box with kramdown hints on the right side. You want textarea on the left and kramdown hints on the right. Therefore you declare that there's a row with two columns, the left column contains the textarea and the right one contains the hints.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now you have a set of layer switching buttons. You <em>don't care which rows and columns they occupy</em>. Why would you go and write out those rows and columns if you don't care about them?</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I'll note that bootstrap 5 has experimental support for CSS grids, that's disabled by default. Maybe that will become default in the future or we'll switch to it or something, I have no idea.</p>

<p dir="auto">You still have to declare rows and columns manually with it, right? That's still an <em>explicit</em> grid. The reason to do the grid differently for layer buttons is because it's an <em>implicit</em> grid.</p>
